Even as Sachin Tendulkar was celebrating his 47th Test century, the Australian cricket circles are heaping tributes on Ricky Ponting, Australia's best batsmen of all time in terms of runs as he touched another milestone in the ODI series win against the West Indies.

Ponting not only scored a century in the fourth ODI but also, on the way, went onto to achieve the record of making a century at all the important cricket grounds in the world.
The West Indies captain, Chris Gayle's bold ambitions that the West Indies would do even better in the ODIs took a hit as they lost the first two ODIs in comprehensive manner before the third ODI was rained out. And Ponting ensured there was no question of this series being anybody's but Australia's.
It has also led to people within Australia feeling like Ponting would have been the best in the world but for Sachin Tendulakr who continues his juggernaut of runs and centuries, the latest being his 47th Test century against South Africa in the ongoing second Test in Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
